Rebuilt the carbs on my 73 65 Johnson. Starts right up and runs like a top, but after running it and turn it off... I notice fuel leaking out of carb's. I did the float adjustment like I should. Turn the carb body upside down and make sure it's parallel and also made sure the float drops only 3/4 of a inch. And my year Johnson doesn't have carb adjustments so I know it not that. Im just completely lost. I took them apart 3 times and cleaned with my 150 psi air compressor... every single orfice. I have no clue why its leaking. I put all everything new except for float because the guy at the marine shop told me that floats hardly ever go bad. Im starting to wonder if I even put the float on right. The dented part of the float is suppose to be pointed towards the the bowl right?
